By one-hundredth of a second, American sprinter Sha’Carri Richardson was unable to reach the 200-meter final at the US Track and Field Championships in Oregon.
Madison Whyte, who had already qualified for the final qualifying spot, came in fourth with a time of 22.56 seconds, which is 0.01 more than Madison’s.
As the defending champion, she is denied entry to the 100-meter World Championships in September, but her chances of winning are over.
After being detained over a domestic violence rumor, Richardson, a 100-meter silver medalist at the Paris 2024 Olympics, wraps up a contentious week.
According to a police report, video showed Coleman being shoved into a wall before Richardson threw an object at him.
Following the incident, she was let go on Monday.
Coleman “declined to be a victim” and “did not want to participate in the investigation,” according to the police officer’s report.
After her heat in Eugene, Richardson resisted speaking to the waiting reporters and instead wished them a “blessed day.”
USA Track and Field responded to her arrest by saying it was aware of the reports but would not “comment on this matter.”
World champion Noah Lyles took the lead with a time of 19.63 seconds in the 200-meter men’s final on Sunday, placing Coleman sixth.
